SirWalross · « **Reply #9 on:** Sat, 10 February 2018, 07:39:25 »

I`ve got some questions:
1. Is the HHKB Layout compatible with an ISO Layout?
2. Could you post some renders of the HHKB? (I know you said that they were done rendering on the IC, but I haven't seen them, maybe I'm blind)
3. Could you post the available layouts for the HHKB?

The plate from the DO60 gb will be for a tray mount case, not usable with the Chiwi60. You will need the top mount plate included in the Chiwi60 kit.

Tray mount drops in and is screwed down by the PCB to the case. You can find a lot of these on kbdfans, the Tina case or 5° case for example.

Top mount, the plate is screwed to the top of the case, pretty much standard in any custom.

Top mount is preferred in the community, it's a sign of a premium product. It is much nicer to type on.

I would drop sennin an email asking to refund the plate that you purchased during the PCB GB.
You will need to give him the details of the order.
It may take a little while though as I'd imagine that he'd be receiving quite a lot of emails due to the back to back group buys as well as his usual influx of emails from his store.

Hey Sennin,

i sent you a mail but no answer so far.

It is possible to have PVD of another color, not gold? I mean brass case with another color for pvd

jebbra · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 10 February 2018, 21:30:00 »

Is this pseudo hipro like M65A (keycaps not really sink in case) or real hipro like Duck Viper / KMAC Happy (keycaps beautifully snuggedly sinking)?

HHKB body(plate in rendering is not for HHKB):

lanyusea · « **Reply #25 on:** Sat, 10 February 2018, 23:30:12 »

Quick question:

1. any prototype of the HHKB one?
2. any prototype of the Brass one?
3. is the Aluminum 6061?
4. is the Stabilizer coming with HHKB option with 6u wire?

UsualSuspectXXX · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 10 February 2018, 23:36:48 »

That brass case sounds awesome! Might have to join this.

Couple questions.
1) Is there any finish on the brass to help prevent corrosion?
2) Wasn't aware of the DO60 PCB, how is programming for it and where can I find more information about it?
3) Where does the nameplate go? I didn't notice it in any of the renders

Also, I see that on the brass case, the option for universal USB port type is $15 but on the aluminum one it's only $5. Is there a reason for this $10 difference?

1. It's mirror finish PVD coated like the plate.
2. The PCB runs on QMK
3. The nameplate (which is also PVD coated) is mounted to the underside of the polycarbonate base.

Really liking the white hhkb version but I have a couple of questions,

1. Should the blocker corners have the same radius as the upper inner corners?
2. Will you be making a prototype of the hhkb version before the main production begins?
3. The 6U spacebar should be off-centered, right?

TheMissingPiece · « **Reply #31 on:** Sun, 11 February 2018, 03:29:51 »

Are there pictures of the layouts supported by each plate? I was hoping for 2u shift with split spacebar (hopefully in 2.75/1.25/2.25u configuration) support.

1. yes, but we have to make it after CNY, and prototype might not do any surface treatment. safe time to do testing
2. once brass version reach MoQ, we'll do it, make sure the quality is nice.
3. yes, 7000 series is too expensive O_Q
4. we offer stabilizer cover most layout no matter which layout you chose, you can check "* stabilizer pack contains" section

1. PVD treatment will prevent that.
2. it is powered by QMK, we're working on how to do that without even single command line.
3. on the bottom side

1. the radius on upper side is to fit outline of case. but lower side does not have to match outline, we make it shaper.
2. yes, but we have to make it after CNY, and prototype might not do any surface treatment. safe time to do testing
3. correct, just the same as origin hhkb

For check out issue.
Could you send me a mail?
I'll create order manually.
It will be great if you can take screenshot of failure.
And I'll try find out reason of failure.
I'm not sure if it is related to the attack this morning.
Somebody was trying hack our server, lead high cpu usage, and the server got some issue after that.
I should already solve that and make a simple protection.

My question was if the spacebar mount, where the MX stem goes into the cap, is off-centered? It seems most GMK 6U spacebars are like this. The original HHKB spacebar is center mount, the topre stem goes into the cap in the center of the cap.

I think we can make when >20.
Got around 70+ interesting.
But the order quantity is not enough now.
If moq is not able to reach by next week.
We have to cancel brass ver.
